An Email from Leigh Brasington

Hi Brian,

I'm really sorry to hear she had to undergo surgery. I hope she is
recovering well. I send her - and you - lots of metta!

I will definitely miss you - you are one of my favorite students - even
tho dhamma teachers aren't supposed to have favorites ;-) But I do
understand and know that you are doing exactly the right thing.

>I'm planning to listen to the tapes from the 2002 course next week,
